Lagging interest can be frustrating.
So let's recap your sequence of balances with CapOne over the last couple of months:
You had a balance on the statement that printed December 19, am I right?
That entire balance amount was not fully paid by the due date of the January 19 statement, which was probably a due date of January 16? So from the December 19 balance, you had something more than $1 that was not paid by January 16?
You've got new charges that were probably added between January 16 and February 14, but you have paid that all off, plus whatever the remainder was off that December 19 balance, unpaid as of January 16, now it is all paid to zero.
However, since the card was accruing interest, and had a balance for nearly the entire billing cycle, yeah, you got some lagging interest charges on the statement, since interest is not finally calculated in any one month until the statement date.
This is not wrong on Capital One's part. It is how interest is calculated.
Your next best action is to pay the $2.18 of interest now, today, immediately. That takes the step of re-zeroing your balance, and will make it a faster trip to "no interest cost" territory.
Going forward, no, you do not have to pay every day. What you do want to do is to make sure that the number you see as "remaining balance" printed on the statement, is the minimum amount you pay before the next payment due date. Otherwise, if you pay even $1 short from that prior statement balance, you will trigger the interest rate calculations on all new charges, plus the amount over $1 that was unpaid from that prior statement. And then you have to try to zero the statement out again, as you are doing now.
That happened to me recently. Just call and they might waive the balance for you. Mine was I think $5.12.
Starting Scores in BK13: EX521,TU537,EX520So they already credited you the interest. That's one of the nice things about Capital One, fast customer service.
Congratulations on the CLI! What was the old CL, what increase did you get?

True, but for $2.18 ?

Both are true. I have a $13 charge pending, so I just may do that. I have a few bucks pending on the QS1...good info for when I am feeling antsy about getting back to zero.
